Finally: 'Environmentally Green' Obama Elementary School Opens

Surely the kiddies will learn the fine arts of lying, obfuscation, basketball and golf, in no particular order. How crushed they'll be in a couple of years when they're attending a school named after a failed, one-term hack.

The first school in the D.C. area named after the current president opens Monday morning as the school year begins in Prince George's County.

Barack Obama Elementary School opens its doors in Upper Marlboro, Md., for the first time Monday. The school is being touted as being an environmentally friendly "green" school. There have been other schools named after President Obama in the country, but this will be a first in his own backyard in the D.C. region.

Used to be a time when schools were named after people who'd actually accomplished something or contributed to society.
